GENTLEMEN:
Heretofore / asked
each of you to serve upon commit
tee, composed Of one member from
each county of the Sixth Congress
iOnal District Of Maryland, to select
Cadet from the District to the U.
S. Military A cadamy at West Point.
now request that you all assem-
bic at HagerstOWn on May s, 1887,
in the forenoon, to examine all
young men between the ages Of sey-
enteen and twenty-five. who, having
resided continuously during the last
five years in this district, may then
apply for this appointment. l sug-
gest that the examination, physical
and academical, conform generally
to the printed "circular of informa-
ton relative to the appointment and
admission of Cadets to the u. S. Mil
itary Academy" | enclose to each
of you a copy of this circular. Each
applicant may obtain a copy by

Secretary of War, Washington, d.
c.. and asking for it.
The instructors at West Point re-
port that competitive eXawinatious
| furnish the largest percentage of
good Cadets to the army. | believe
they tend to relieve applicants from
the modification of a failure after APP
pointment, while they put our
youths, whether poor or rich, on an
equal footing.
Therefore select a candidate and an
alternate for fitness and merit. To
this, | add one qualification, by ask
ing you to give preference to the son
of soldier or sailor who served in
the volunteer or regular forces of the
United States during the war for the
| Union.
believe it wise and just to show
marked preference for the sons of our
veterans IN selecting for military
training one Of the future defenders
Of our flag.
trust you all concur with me in
this sentiment and that you may
construe it literally in behalf of the
candidates of merit who are the sons
Of Union Veterans.
The candidate and alternate so Sc
lected by your committee l will at
once nominate so that the vacancy
to occur early in June may be filled
at the June examination at West

MIXED SCHOOLS.

We see from the papers the question
Of Mixed Schools being agitated in
different paris ofthe Northern States
We had hoped that the negro ques.
ton had been finally settled since the
negro had been admitted to every
right and privilege that the white
man has, but it seems not, and ther
are men at tie North who now wish
to force upon the people OF the states
the abominable idea of the Nike,
Schools.
So far as North Carolina is concerns
ed it can never go here, it is not
wanted, either by the white or color.
ed people, the reason is Obvious, the
white man, at least in the South,
wants his race to be kept pure aud
distinct, the colored man for the same
reason wants the same. But have
mixed schools and what will be the
inevitable result; il will lead to mis-
crgenatioi, ior it will be utterly
impossible TO allow the children OF
the two races to intermingle IN the
same schools, set at the same desk
and constantly associate with each
other without forming attachments
for one another resulting in marriage.
All good people of every faith, creed
and color should oppose this. II has
been our privilege to converse with
intelligent colored men upon this sub.
ject aud we find that they are as bit
rerly opposed to mixed schools as the
white people, nor is there u plea or
necessity Tor it, the white man it is
conceded, own the bulk Ut the proper
ty, therefore pays all or very nearly
all the taxes TO support the public
schools, but the reveneus Tor that pur
p ,se is equally divided among the
white and colored children according
to the school census, the school hous-
es for the colored schools are just ms
good as those for the white. They
have Just as competent Teachers as
the whites; if they do not, it is the
iaultof the Superintendeuts, therefore
there can be no equitable plea for il,
bat everything, both of RICH, and JUS
tice, to both races against mixed
schools.

The Good of the Country.

The farmer, BY nature and training
is, or ought to be, the most indepen.
dent Of all classes Of people, yet, tor
the want oil association and concert
of action, are liable at all times to be
imposed upon or fail to realize the
good within their reach, all others
tradesmen, mechanics, merchants and
professional men place their own
price or value their own labor and
products OF their labor, while the tar
mer invariably take back seats, and
like the bashful boy at the wedding,
has nothing TO say. The products OF
his labor is shipped or brought to
market and he must take what he
can get, and this we can see is radi-
cally wrong, but to remedy it and
solve the the problem is the great
question of the day. ..#
We confess that we are not able
to give 10 our readers a remedy, but
there are some things in which we
Imay advise them, and the first aud
most prominent is to form Clubs, not
TO sntagonize the interest Of any. but
to look carefully 10 your own. When
i1teligant men meet together to
consult for the common good Of ALL
good will invariably be the result,
then united action of the farmers is
to be desired above all things else,
let them consult as to the nature OF
their soil. to what plant it is best a.
dapted, the kind Of manure best snit.
ed 10 the soil or the plant, the kind Of
grain planted or sowed, the time to
pillow certain kinds of land, the best
grasses 10 raise and a thousand other
things too tedious 70 mention.
We cannot close without advising
our friends to avoid buying CONNER
cial fertilizers. ION mortgages, } eccu-
py as far as possible, the whole winter
in making your own manure, there
by enriehIng your lands and keeping
clear Of ehattle mortgages, the bape
and curse Of the farmer. Do not con.
fine your labor TO one crop, diversifi,
ed farming is the slogan now--make
Jour own bread and meat let your
money crop be within your control,
do NOT osercrop yourselves 10000
hills Of Tobacco well MANFRED and
well worked is more profitable than
10000 not MANFRED and imperfectly
worked; do not pIaut on land that you
know will not make peck of corn to
the acre-make your own manure
and shun chattle mortgages, LET the
farmer be as God aud nature intend.
ed him, free and independent indeed.
We intead to urge this matter Of
Farmers Clubs until we see one or
more established in every Township
in the couaty.
